When I lived in CT my bestfriends dad collected toys and he taught me how to collect them..

all of my stuff is in the box.. I should buy two or more of each.. but. I'm a college kid and.. its not that much of a priority.. just like a reward every now and then..


My dads father collects

German Cuckoo clocks (all from the father land)
Beer Steins
Spoons
books
wood working stuff

He said he is leaving them all to .. meeeee... I love his clocks...

he also has a nice collection of post war Rolexes he bought while in West Germany in '46

He gave me one as well as a nice hamilton... I sometimes wear my Rolex to work just to blow customers minds..

Last time I wore it some lady was giving me guff about how minimum wage workers are stupid and etc.. I flash my Rolex and tell her I have a Mercedes in the parking lot with a big trunk and she shut up...
